Morning, So, this could be the finished Little Owl. As ever, I’m not 100% certain yet. Putting the white on, in the way I have, has created a surprisingly cold light, but I think I

Morning, A quick update this morning. There’s a big jump in progress with the little owl as I’ve been working away at Hampshire Open Studios (as you know) and now that I’m back in the

Morning, A couple of updates for you this morning. Firstly, and somewhat unbelievably, another exhibition has decided to give me an award. I can’t quite believe it, but the Society of Graphic Fine Art (an

There are a couple of things to update you on today. Firstly; there is a new piece of work to share. Unusually, this isn’t the first showing for this piece, as I did show it

A sneak peek (before anyone else) into my latest work, or at least a small part of it. It’s not finished yet, but I’m almost there, and once I’ve framed it, I’ll be able to

This is the first email I’ve sent for what feels like about a year, but is, in fact, only 3 months. It comes as a result of one of my pieces getting into the Royal

A very quick update this morning, nothing other than a quick update on progress with my latest work, a landscape of the north Cornish coast. I’m enjoying working on it, probably a bit too much,

Some new work in progress to show you this morning, but before I do, please forgive a small amount of narcissism, although I promise not to gaze too long at my own reflection. As you

Starting is often the hardest thing to do with these emails, but this time, that’s more true than ever. It’s incredible how much time we all spend talking about Covid-19; the extraordinary times we’re currently
